72 AUDUBON, THE NATURALIST 



Bernard Marigny was one of those who befriended 

 Audubon when he was in desperate straits at New Or- 

 leans in 1821, by advancing him money in return for 

 portraits or drawings of birds. He died in that city in 

 1868, when in his eighty-third year, a poor and honest 

 man.
